• Key Concepts: 
  Mass characteristic value is a feature of the SAP SCM-APO-ATP Global Available-to-Promise (GATP) component. It allows users to define characteristics for a product and assign values to them. This enables users to quickly identify and filter products based on their characteristics. For example, a user can assign a color value to a product, allowing them to quickly filter products by color. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use mass characteristic values, users must first define the characteristics they want to assign to their products. This can be done in the GATP component by navigating to the “Characteristics” tab and selecting “Create Characteristic”. Once the characteristics have been defined, users can assign values to them by navigating to the “Values” tab and selecting “Create Value”. Finally, users can assign the values to their products by navigating to the “Products” tab and selecting “Assign Values”. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating characteristics, it is important to ensure that they are descriptive and easy to understand. This will make it easier for users to identify and filter products based on their characteristics. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the values assigned to a characteristic are consistent with each other. For example, if a user assigns a color value of “red” to one product and a color value of “blue” to another product, this could lead to confusion when filtering products by color.
